In Hungary, 15th March is a public holiday commemorating the ultimately unsuccessful 1848 revolution against the Habsburg rule, similar to the 23rd October memorials of another failed revolution, this time against the Soviets in 1956.

The national day of Hungary however is 20th August, in memory of the first king St Stephen I.
